BJ, I got SLW chicks in March. When they feathered out, they were the most ugly, God-forsaken thing I ever saw. I got screwed. No way these hideous feathered gizmos were my beloved Silver Laced Wyandottes. In a panic, I posted pics on the SLW thread on BYC, where I was assured that I did indeed have SLW chicks, that was a stage they went through. I had one rooster in the bunch and gave him away a few weeks ago. He was no looker, but as I understand, sometimes they don't come into their full color plumage until after they molt the first time. So you are looking at the pictures on the internet of these stately, beautiful, SLW roosters, then looking at the freaky feathered weirdo that is eating his head off in your coop. No wonder you are worried. I was too. Post us a picture!
